football onesie

The Weekly Creative #6

Welcome to week 6 of The Weekly Creative! I hope everyone had a nice weekend and I hope anyone in the path of "Hurricane Sandy" is hunkered down and prepared for the storm. We have a few bags of ice, some candles/flashlights, and we're just hoping our sump pump can keep up with all of the rain. Despite the gloomy weather, here are some featured posts from last week to brighten your day (don't forget to grab a featured button from the sidebar):

fabric tutu

My niece, Sadie, was in desperate need of a fabric tutu...Who isn't? They're just so cute! I saw a lot of different tutorials online, but I just ended up doing it my own way. I wanted a lot of little strips with fun colors and patterns and I think it turned out pretty cute. Look at her adorable little face...she liked it! :)
